After diligent canvass of the city of

tofore known as Democrats, who would
sign paper pledglng their support to the
republican State aud municipal ticket,
according to Mr.. Cowen's programme, the
names Of 80 signers to such paper, in
GLIDING Cowen himself, have been obtained
and it 1t published in the American"
This is rather a sorry. showing it would
seem; but as 1t appears after a diligent
canvass made, it Nay 81 taken as a true
exponent of the number Of self.s,yled Dem

look like much ofrevolution and il is very
evident that Cowen's powder is not strong
The Democratic State ticket meets The un

section Of the State and the municipal

cause for dissatisfaction within the party.

sc re kHacr ;rnAdiatr <serr Tr r-et<-s
ing confidence and in allaying public
fears Of q money panic. Again must the
President be congratulated os doing the
the right thing at the right time. His ac-
tion in ordering the purchase of : go, 900
bonds at the fall market value <As so
conservative as to escape the criticism
that many would hasten to pass upon it,
namely, that it was simply using the
treasury of the nation in the interest of
bondholders and spectators. At the
same time it has already restored conf
dence in mercantile circles and banished
the spectre of q money panic. The sur
plus reser:e in New York increased $l,-
997 ,050 last week. That it did so caused
general surprise, but at the same time
general congratulation. The feeling is
that the tide has turned. The banks are
undoubtedly better off than even this un-
expectedly good statement indicates, for
the treasury disbursements came so late
in the week that they are not all reflected
in the statement This week October in
terest will be paid under the last treasury
circular, and this viii add about S6,0OO,-
900 to the public circulation. Altogether
the financial situation looks much bright
er. The significance of this in political
way is very clear. A panic at this time
would have been very disastrous to the
democratic party. The panic of 1878,
which caused four years of commercial
depression, was one of the chief causes OF
the election of Samuel J. TiIden in 1876,
and the panic of 1884, right in the presi-
Dental year, undoubtedly turned the
scales in favor of Mr.. Cleveland. Justly
or unjustly, the administration is always
held responsible for the commercial con-
dition of the country. The fact that the
country has not "gone to the dogs" un-
der democratic rule, as republican stump
orators predicted in 1884, but on the other
hand has increased in wealth and pros
perity, will be powerful Cleveland argu-
ment in 1883.

Stasnbury Boyce, q we'll known color

Stasnbury Boyce, well known colored
citizen of Baltimore earnestly says:
ave have done our best to assist in the
preservation of the Republican party, but
ali our friends have gone, and the vitals
Of the grand old party are being eaten
oht by mercenary camp-followers, and
jealousy and sefshness are forcing us
from her side. The colored people have
followed the white Republicans with the
submission and humility of dog. but no
recognition of them is exhibited until
the moment Of voting. Sometimes a
selfstyled leader of the colored people is
given some paltry position under the
government for the purpose of hoodwink
ing the colored people, or a solitary, OBJ
sequious, trsctable colored man is invited
to some oftheir important meetings as
fgurehead, and too we'll do these myrmi-
dons accomplish their missios, for at the
ward meetings they obstruct business
and paralyae every effort looking toward
the advancement of our claims. The white
Republicans have scorned to consult the
colored people, but have required them
to execute their plans, whether for the
sustaining of the Republican party or for
an alien, incongruous, smalgamated par
ty, and ia consequence of the latter,
large portion of colored voters, who have
ever been loyal to the Republican party,
were forced to determined for themselves
the comparative merit of the candidates,
regardless of party affiliations, and have
thus been branded with the name of COL
ored Democrats.
"In the national conventions Maryland
had but one solitary colored delegate 4
and he was autagonized by all the white
Republicans in the State they likewise
assume dictatorship and q monopoly of all
Offices in the ward, city and State"

President Cleveland, in q recent talk
with . reporter, has virtually denied the
statement which had been zasde by the
press to the effect that the recent visit OF
Speaker Carlisle and Representative Scott
to Oak View had been made for the pur-
pose of formulating tariff bill to be in
troduced into the next Congress and
known as the administration bill. The
President said that it is not the province
of the Executive to formulate tariff bills
or other legislation and that his visitors
and himself had not conferred upon that
point. The formation of tariff bill was
not even contemplated at the Oak View
conference, but the Secretary of the Treas
ury was requested to prepare for incorpor-
atioz in the Presidents next annual mes
sage statement showing the rate Of duty
on every article of importation under the
last three tariff acts. 1t will be arranged
as comparative statement. showing the
amount of revenue produced under each
tariff. The statement is to be made so
plain AMI comprehensive that every one
who will take the trouble to refer to it
will see at glance the amount of revenue
produced from each article, the cost OF
collecting it, and the class of citizens to
be benefited by the retention OF the pre-
sent rate of duty. Experts are now en-
gagged upon this work in the Treasury
Department, and by the time Congress as
sembles the, desired information will be
in such shape that it may be placed in the
hands of every Congressman, SO that they
may, if honestly interested in reforming
the tariff, deal with the subject intelli-
gently.

The Primary Meetings.

In another column of today's papsr the
Democratic central committee publish a
call for the primary an'eeeesiagapts be held
ri the sth proximo, and for the county
convention on the following Thursday, to
nominate county ticket. This is the
first step in the important local campaign
of this fall and 1t becomes every good and
true citizen of the county to fall in line
and hold himself ready to contribute bis
proper part toward the maintenance Of
good local government.
1t is useless perhaps for US here to di'
rect the attention of the substantial and
order loving citizens of the county to the
vital importance of the local contest Of
this fall. All understand it. Nobody has

ory Of all. That humiliating decade will
never be forgotten. Nobody has forgotten
the campaign of 1885, when our best citi-
zens rose up and, taking the standard of
the people, proclaimed from the bustinga
in every section Of che county the extrava-
pance and ma a><dministration Of our local
governmeptand warned the people against
the impeding ruin which threatened the
county. Tue determined, the gallant man.

governmnt which have followed have a
bundany demonstrated the truth of what
vas tn, said. The large reduction al

Ae former extravagance. The system
orden and business principles which
re nov seen in the Clerks, the Registers
and the county commissioners Offices, af-
ford happy contrast with the chaotic
condition of affairs which formerly exist

hard earned victory of 's5 are on all sides

THE ALEXANDRIA (Va.) Gazette Gov
eraor zulick, of Arizona, belongs to that
unfortunately small class of men who
have the moral courage to express their
real thoughts. Under the existing
territorial laws OF Arizona there is a
test oath against Mormons. This law,
Governor Zulick, in his late message to
the Territorial Legislature, says should
be repealed at once. And that it should
be no really fair believer in republican
Institutions can have a doubt. The
words as we'll as the spirit,of the Consti-
tuition of the Government prohibit any
religious test or any prescription for
opinion; therefore, a member of the
Mormon Church, provided he shall
commit no covert act contrary to the
laws, is entitled to the same rights.

Government that are granted to a mem

1t is evident the Loyal League dele
gates in Congress are using some of the
Doodle with which they are so geper-
ously supplied with the Washington
correspondents, for every now and
then the boodle-touched hand manifests
itself in the special kilograms sent ont
from the capital. 1t is also apparent
that the Busy BIS are not so cbeerfnl
and confident as they were ten DAYS
ago. Then all was assumed to be smooth
sailing and lovely; now, grim-visaeed
suspicion looms in front of the League
delegates, and doubt and distrust FIJI
their souls. Congressman. Scott ;s
forced to the front as the obstacle 70

is not known that Scott has ever said or
done a thing against the bill beyond
offering an amendment which be was
not even permitted to read. Latelv

CANADA NOT ALARMED

Canada, ACCORDING to the newspaper
comments on thu fisheries bill as passed
by the United States Senate, is not
much worried by the proposed legisla-
ton; and the chances are that our
Dominion friends are right. Retalia-
tory or spitef III legislation is rarely if
ever good; it seldom hurts the party
aimed at quite as much as 1t does the
aiming party. The one good feature
about the fisheries bill is that the
question of its application is left with
the President, and it is presumed that
he will be wise enough to avoid biting
of the country's nose to spite its face.
Absolute non-intercourse with Canada
means great disas ter to the Dominion
for she sells as much and buys largely
from us; but the disaster to the United
States will be quite as heavy as that tn
our northern neighbor. The President
already has all the authority needed r.
protect American citizens in their
rights; if Canada shall maltreat, rob. or
in any manner iujure an American. the
President can demand and enforce If
necessary full PREPARATION; if the treaty
guarantees any privileges which Amer
leans have been denied, the President
can compel Canada to yield those
privileges and make re,,itut; m
for any loss or injury done
The President requires no more
authority or power than he now ep;oys
What is required is q new treaty. which
shall be more liberal to Americans than
the old one; but il Great Britain shall
decline to make such new treaty, Con-
gress may legIslate from now until
doomsdsy without accomplishing any
thing. II is very cheap quality of
statesmanship which has manifested
itselfin the Senate bill, and the bragga.

were Ne nIlsest kind Of boasssng.

Now COMES forward Mr.. Secretary
Thoman, of the United States Brewers
Association, with some statistics which
are intended to hurt the feelings and
counteract the arguments of the tenn
perance advocates. Mr.. Thoman shows
that among the beer.drinking en-
ployees of breweries the death rate is
less by 40 per cent. than among other
classes who drink no beer. 1t will now
bein order for the good people who are
striving to put down intemperance to
bring out the figures to prove that Mr.,
Thoman's statistics are about 40 Der
cent false, and then the public can
arrive at the facts by believing about
half way between the two showings.

BEARING FRUIT.

The National Board of Trade, which
has just been in session in Washington,
adopted resolution recommending a
national law prohibiting the adultera-
ton of food and drink. This is one of
the first fruits OF the assumption by
Congress of the right 10 Iegislate. as it
did in the oleomargarine act. Before
The Republican party came into power,
there would have been no thought of
asking Congress to pass su,h a bill as
the bull butter measure, but ever since
that party took control of government,
there has been a steady encroachment
By the National Legislature on the
rights of the States. If Congress can
regulate the manufacture of butter, it
can also legislate on the subject of food
adulteration, and if it can do this
latter, it can make laws for regulating
and governing in other local matters.
One of these days it will be difficult to
say where the Epower and authority OF
the general government in the manage
ment of the local affairs of the State
end, and those of the State begin. Such
rapid progress in assumption has been
made during the past few years that
the Federal Constitution is scarcely
thought of when measures are at
tempted which a quarter of century
ago would have alarmed the nation.
1t is PROFESSIONALLY a fact that the
health Of many people is injuriously af-
fected by adulterated food, but the mat
ter of protecting the people IN this re-
spect belongs exclusively to the States,
the general government having no
more to do with it than it has with fix
ing the regulations governing concert
hslls in a city. II this aggression is.to
continue, the States had better be con-
sistent, and adopt a constitutional
amendment obIiterating State lines and /
centering all legislative and executive
authority in the general government;
or at once form an empire and be done |
with republican ideas and professions.
